Yes. Why hide something if there’s nothing to hide?

Thanks for that reminder. It is important to know that Bush took the charges seriously and presented the documentation to prove it false. Obama has yet to do that.

Yes. I don’t know what, exactly...but he’s clearly hiding something.

Anyone can run for president. NJ allowed a known foreign-born citizen on the 2008 ballot. Goldwater never had to qualify for the office so his status is moot.

Nobody is talking about this. But, it is important to military leaders to use the Strategy as a guideline and consideration for making leadership decisions.

He has no strategy published.

If that is so, then why hasn't any bona fide documentation of that fact yet surfaced; i. e., a long form Hawaii birth certificate, similar to the ones the mother of the Nordyke twins (born the day after Obama was supposed to have been born and childhood friends of Obama) displayed for the Honolulu Advertiser earlier this week?

I think the long form certificate probably exists (as Hawaii state officials have said). Obama can request a copy and make it available to the public, but probably won't. I think he and Democratic Party strategists believe this issue works in their favor among moderates by undermining the credibility of conservatives.

In his short time in office, Obama has already squandered nearly $1 trillion in a so-called "stimulus" that has mostly benefited Democratic special interests while unemployment continues to soar. He's effectively turned GM over to his union supporters while burning legitimate GM creditors. His plan for health-care reform could decimate the US economy, reduce the quality of our health-care, and stifle innovation in the health care field. His energy policy, featuring the cap-and-trade insanity, is a further crippling tax on US businesses and, ultimately, consumers. There are too many things wrong with this presidency to easily list. The birth certificate thing is just an easy way for Obama to avoid the real issues and portray his critics as conspiracy theorists.

If he were JUST hiding the birth certificate, that would be one thing, but he’s hiding all his school records, and his state legislative records, etc., so it’s obvious that he’s hiding something major. The whole issue is clearly one of honesty and ethics. I keep hoping one of these lawsuits actually gets to the appeals court level, and on to the Supreme Court.

Travel by Americans to Pakistan in 1981 wasn't banned by the United States or Pakistan. It wasn't difficult or illegal for Americans to travel there. It was so easy to travel there that Pakistan was issuing 30-day visas at their airports to American tourists upon arrival in the country. Here's the U.S. State Department document number and text of the 1981 travel advisory:

US State Department Travel Advisory for Pakistan in 1981, No. 81-33A
"Before traveling to Pakistan, American Citizens should be aware of the following updated visa requirements: 30 day visas are available at Pakistani airports for tourists only. As these visas are rarely extended beyond the 30 day time per visa. Tourists planning to stay longer should secure visas before coming to Pakistan. Any traveler coming into Pakistan overland from India must repeat must have a valid visa, as 30 day visas are not repeat not issued at the overland border crossing point at Wagha."

Please help dispel this rumor by correcting any future posts that you make on this subject.

He is a liar, period. Everytime his mouth opens and his lips move he is lying.

Yes, hiding something or lying for some reason. Even if it is just to protect his narcissistic self-image.

If Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, he is a U.S. citizen regardless of his parents' citizenship status. However, being a citizen of the U.S. does not meet the Constitutional requirement to hold the office of president. One must also be a natural-born citizen. The two are not one in the same.

The Constitution does not define the term natural-born citizen. The 14th Amendment does not define the term natural-born citizen and it does not designate anyone as a natural-born citizen.

The only group of citizens clearly and undoubtedly understood to be natural-born citizens are those persons born on U.S. soil to two U.S. citizen parents. With its opinion in Wong Kim Ark, the SCOTUS left unresolved the natural-born status of all other citizens. There is no settled law on the matter. Barack Obama, as a self-proclaimed Constitutional Law professor, knows this.

There are some pictures that have been dug up.

High School


Bigger

Barack Obama, then known as Barry, in a 1978 senior yearbook photo at the Punahou School in Honolulu. At Punahou, a preparatory school that had few black students, he talked with friends about race, wealth and class. (below
09obama02_600.jpg

Nearly three decades ago, Barack Obama stood out on the small campus of Occidental College in Los Angeles for his eloquence, intellect and activism against apartheid in South Africa. But Mr. Obama, then known as Barry, also joined in the party scene.

“He was so bright and wanted a wider urban experience.” ANNE HOWELLS, Mr. Obama’s former English professor
Years later in his 1995 memoir, he mentioned smoking “reefer” in “the dorm room of some brother” and talked about “getting high.” Before Occidental, he indulged in marijuana, alcohol and sometimes cocaine as a high school student in Hawaii, according to the book. He made “some bad decisions” as a teenager involving drugs and drinking, Senator Obama, now a presidential candidate, told high school students in New Hampshire last November.


The Times published a picture from the school yearbook:

Obama at Punahou School

The caption says: “A 1976 photo from the Punahou School yearbook shows ninth-grader Barack Obama-- front row, fourth from right -- with his class.”

Later he fell in love with his future wife, Michelle Robinson.

No relation to Jim Thompson.

Oh, here he is on the Bowling team in High School.

A better choice?

Kelli Furushima was a classmate of Barack Obama at the Punahou School. She displayed her yearbook from 1979, in which “Barry Obama” expressed regret that Ms. Furushima and he had not dated.

Then I’m not a “natural-born” citizen. My father was a US citizen, and my mother was a “war bride” who had been in the US for sixteen years and had resident alien status (she was, and remained all her life, a Canadian citizen) when I was born. Therefore, I wouldn’t be eligible to serve as President. Interesting.
